The Best Web on the Web

Spider (and cake!) in a Jar

I just found the coolest Halloween treat at a fabulous new-to-me blog called i am baker. Check out the above photo. How cute...I mean, spooky...is that?! Seriously...whether you like spiders or not, ya gotta admit that this is a great twist on the old 'Cake in a Jar' thing. The chocolate web on the top looks amazing, and seems to be surprisingly easy to make. Visit i am bakerfor all the instructions and helpful step-by-step photos of the process. You can tell her I sent ya!

I am totally making these...even if I am already a little creeped out!

Pssstt! If you're into the creepy crawly stuff, you might also like her Centipede cake (below). Personally, I'm pretty sure that the Devil himself set centipedes upon this earth to torture ME personally, so I won't be making this one. But if you're into that sort of thing, have at it! Just don't invite me over for it, k?

About Me

I am an American girl living in Ireland. I have a thousand scattered interests and preoccupations. I use a wheelchair and I love to travel, a precarious combination that guarantees adventure. I am a student, a teacher, and an unapologetic Grammar Vigilante. I love photography, animals, good jokes, and surprises. I am a lousy cook but a good sport, and I have an impressive collection of Collections. I love books, music and art, I know a Little about a Lot, and I never tire of learning more. Perhaps most importantly, I spend a lot of time feeling very lucky that I get to share all these things and more with the Love of My Life and our family in such a beautiful country in a Little House called Glyndale.
